Abstract
A molded burial container and method for forming such having a seamless single piece base with a bottom, sides and ends, each of which has an inner wall and an outer wall and a seamless single piece lid having an inner and outer wall, the lid being releasably securable to the base. A coarse aggregate of the moldable material is fused into the interior side of the base and lid inner and outer walls during the molding process as formation of the base and lid is completed. The base and lid inner and outer walls thus form hollow chambers capable of being filled with a structural flowable material such as cellular concrete or structural foam so that the flowable material bonds to the aggregate covered interior side of the inner and outer walls of the base and lid.

A method of forming a composite burial vault comprising the steps of:
- forming a seamless single piece base having an inner and outer wall bottom and inner and outer wall sides and ends from a moldable material;
- introducing during molding a coarse aggregate of the moldable material between the inner and outer walls of the base;
- forming a single piece lid having inner and outer walls from the moldable material;
- introducing during molding a coarse aggregate of the moldable material between the inner and outer walls of the lid, the base and lid being cooperatively connectable to form the composite vault and the base and lid inner and outer walls forming hollow chambers capable of being filled with a flowable structural material so that the flowable material bonds to the aggregate covered inner and outer walls of the base and lid.
A method of rotationally molding a composite burial vault with a polymetric heat activated moldable material having a selected molecular weight comprising the steps of:
- molding a seamless single piece base having an inner and outer wall bottom, and inner and outer wall sides and ends;
- introducing a coarse aggregate of the moldable material having a higher molecular weight than the moldable material with the selected molecular weight in the base while molding is underway and not completed so that the coarse aggregate is at least partially activated and fused to the inner and outer walls of the base upon completion of molding;
- molding a seamless single piece lid having inner and outer walls from the moldable material;
- introducing during molding a coarse aggregate of the moldable material having a higher molecular weight than the moldable material with the selected molecular weight in the lid while molding is underway and not completed so that the coarse aggregate is at least partially activated and fused to the inner and outer walls of the lid upon completion of molding, the base and lid being cooperatively connectable with each other to form the vault and the base and lid inner and outer walls forming hollow chambers capable of being filled with flowable structural material so that the flowable structural material bonds with the coarse aggregate fused and covered inner and outer walls of the base and lid.
A burial vault formed from a moldable polymetric material having a selected molecular weight comprising:
- a molded seamless single piece base having an inner and outer wall bottom, and inner and outer wall sides and ends;
- a seamless single piece lid having inner and outer walls securable to the base;
- a coarse aggregate of the moldable material being at least partially activated and fused to the inside of the inner and outer walls of the base and lid during molding, the base and lid inner and outer walls forming hollow chambers capable of being filled with flowable structural material so that the flowable structural material bonds to the aggregate fused and covered inner and outer walls of the base and lid.
A burial vault made of a polymetric heat activated moldable substance having a selected molecular weight made by molding a seamless single piece base forming an inner and outer wall bottom and inner and outer wall sides and ends;
- molding a seamless single piece lid having inner and outer walls securable to the base;
- introducing a coarse aggregate of the moldable substance in the base and lid while molding is under way and not completed so that the unprocessed coarse aggregate is fused to the inner and outer walls of the bane and lid upon completion of molding, the base and lid forming hollow chambers capable of being filled with flowable structural material so that the flowable structural material bonds to the coarse aggregate fused and covered inner and outer wall sides of the base and lid.
A burial vault formed from a moldable polymetric material having a selected molecular weight comprising:
- a molded seamless single piece base having an inner and outer wall bottom, and inner and outer wall sides and ends;
- a seamless single piece lid having inner and outer walls securable to the base;
- a coarse aggregate of the moldable material fused to the inside of the inner and outer walls of the base and lid during molding of the base and lid, the base and lid inner and outer walls forming hollow chambers capable of being filled with flowable structural material so that the flowable structural material bonds to the aggregate covered and fused inner and outer walls of the base and lid.
